Things We Learned at the BRIT Awards – Apart From Adele Won
The singer won awards for album of the year for 25 of the best single for Hello and Best British artist at the ceremony of British pop awards.
British singer Adele took home four awards at the Brit Awards ceremony on Wednesday in the O2 Arena in London.
“For you all to be so kind to me is so nice”.
Adele used one of the biggest nights of her career to voice support for Kesha, who is in a vicious legal battle with her record label over a contract tying her to her alleged rapist, producer Dr. Luke. Her acceptance speech started with a thank you to her team for letting her “embrace the fact that I am a woman”, after which she went ahead and showed public support to Kesha.
I am beyond words in gratitude. thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. “You’re incredible”, she said.
And she was overcome with emotion when she was presented with the global success prize via a video link from British astronaut Tim Peake.
With both artists now signed to music giant Sony, Adele is now their most successful artist having sold some 18 milliom copies of 25 since its release last November. Thank you so much.
“That was really awesome.
David Bowie is deeply embedded in the heart of British culture, as a fixture within our collective inner psyche”.

British rock band Coldplay grabbed the “Best British Group Award” whereas Catfish and the Bottlemen won the “Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act”.

James Bay, who also performed “Hold Back the River” onstage, won for best British male solo artist, while Australian band Tame Impala won for best worldwide group. “They’re the ones who put all the effort into us getting to the next level”.
